I will never complain about B1G refs ever again....

What about hockey refs?

Oh boy, I was already sick and tired of hearing about the replacement refs. Alas, it has only just begun. This will be nonstop for the next 2 days.

Real Refs: "Did we say that we want $200,000 a year? We meant $2,000,000."

well maybe now something will happen to end the embarrassing spectacle that the nfl has become.

I'm sorry. I'm a Packers fan and I have to rant.
What the hell. Really.
Get your head out of your ass Goodell and get the real refs back.
He was hoping he could save a few bucks by having these replacement guys in hopes that they could hold down the fort and not blow a game.
WELL WAY TO FUCKING GO MAN.
Division races can come down to a game and if we lose because Goodell wanted to save a few bucks in a MULTI BILLION DOLLAR ORGANIZATION.... I don't even know.
What a joke.

That inglorious Lifetime Achievement Award surely must go to Gary Bettman.

Ranting is completley acceptable after that travesty that just happened, I'd be irrate if the Lions lost on a similar play, oh wait the refs gave Tennessee a 27 yard personal foul yesterday in overtime to help set up their FG. If you missed it, yes the refs spotted the ball 12 yards ahead of where it should have been. I can't believe this is allowed to happen.

One side note..
People should be sure to direct their anger at Goodell and the NFL, not these refs. I honestly feel bad for these guys. They are just not up for this task- not enough experience, training, talent, whatever. I'm sure it is miserable for them to feel responsible for screwing up the game I am sure they love and deal with such a huge, spot-lighted public outcry. These guys were literally thrown to the wolves and it is kind of sickening to see personal attacks on them (not that this is happening here on this blog, just in general). Place the blame where it is due, squarely on Roger Goodell's shoulders.

The only thing that was simultaneous about that was the contradicting calls.
